Here are some short and sweet hints to be aware of when playing slots. By reading these tips you can stay away from a big disappointment.

Tip #1 : Avoid Poor Slot Machines

Never play a slot machine that is located in area no bigger than an average home. Machine contained in small areas tend to be located in quick stops, gas stations, fast food outlets in some states an so on. We never recommend playing at these places. They are typically not audited for fair gaming and they have horrible odds. A place that tends to have horrible odds is the Vegas airport. It’s a large area but the machines are meant to catch impulsive players.

Tip #2 : Be Prepared for Long Playing Sessions

If you intend on playing slots to win, don't expect to win instantly. Be ready to play for awhile.

Players with experience, have a bankroll of at least 200 units – whether they are quarters or dollars. Meaning, if you are playing $1 slots, you need to have $200 as a bankroll. This is a recommended amount of money for successful playing.

Tip #3 : Getting the most out of slot play

As always, you should play within your personal budget, if you can only afford to bet the max at a quarter machine fine, don’t head to the dollar machines if you can’t play the max wager at that machine every time.

Tip #4 : Go Slow to Beat the Odds.

Slot machines are becoming more and more complex as the technology they are made with expands. Go slow and take your time when playing slot machines. There is no jackpot won on quick game play alone.

Tip #5 : Reading the Slot Help Screen

Playing slots is real easy, but each slot has its own theme and guidelines. Be aware of these guidelines for good game-play. Many new video slot machines provide players with a help screen. Use it.

Tip #6: Test your slot machine before you loose it all

Check each machine you play using a personal pull number. This is a specific number of turns or spins you will choose to make in order to see how the machine responds. For instance, after say 10 turns stop and add up what the machine has paid out. If you are not close to breaking even, move on to the next machine of your choice.
